DizzyKipper Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Got some of this to try... it does taste a bit salty but that's down to individual preference. However it doesn't seem to stick to the knife - it falls off (grr). It doesn't spead well on the bread either (was Malcolmson's brown one). So is it always like this or did I get a bad batch? Or is there some knack to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HN38 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I found it hard to spread to but nice taste to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Don't keep it in the fridge, any butter than can spread straight out of a fridge has had something added to it to keep it "greasy" at low temperatures. Mine just sits in the kitchen cupboard, and is fine to eat for a week or more. Butter doesn't go off fast, and even when it does its the offensive taste that's the problem more then anything else. It'll get to be naturally softer as well as yellower in colour now in a few weeks once the cows are out on grass again, Silage and concentrate feed may well contain equivalent nutrients, but its missing something only fresh grass gives.

Longdog Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Wonderful stuff, love it. I find that if you mash the butter in the tub with your knife a bit before you spread it on bread it softens it. Other wise I'd happily put it on like slices of cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 It's not kept in the fridge Prefer butter to any of the spreadable butter substitutes. I've just never come across one like this! I'll try again when the cows are out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedee Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I do like Shetland Butter, but I invariably end up chucking a lot of the tub away as it doesn't last as long as 'sooth' butter and I don't use it fast enough. As a result I tend to buy it only when baking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlady Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Love it, and it's cheaper as the "south stuff" that I used to buy! It never lasts long enough to go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frances144 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Wonderful stuff. If it doesn't spread just have a really thick chunk and bite into that! mmmmmmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
